Song of Jubilee
(Sung to the tune of #549: Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory)
Since St. Andrews church was built
A century has gone
Succeeding generations
Have helped to keep it strong
In praise of all their efforts
We, our voices raise in song
Their Spirit still lives on.
Chorus
There is only one foundation
There is only one foundation
There is only one foundation
Jesus Christ our Lord
Those faithful men and women
Have gone to meet their Lord;
They have our admiration
For their witness to the Word.
In the pages of church history
Their voices still are heard
The Church still carries on.
Chorus
Yet wood and stone are not the church
It's the saints and they alone
A crowd of true believers
With Christ the cornerstone.
The saints who built St. Andrew's
Have all been taken home
Their church still carries on.
Chorus
With the Spirit guiding,
The faith of men sufficed
Upon the great foundation stone
To build the church of Christ.
The gates of hell shall not prevail
Nor prejudice nor strife
O'er the church our Lord ordained
Chorus
St. Andrew's Church is standing
Where stood the Church of old
Christ is still the cornerstone
And shepherd of the fold;
Within these sacred portals
The Gospel still is told
Of Christ's Church marching on.
